In the wake of the recent Milton & Helen hurricanes, this elegant island sanctuary's high elevation and ideal location prevented water from intruding into any part of the house. The forward-thinking design ensured that this safe haven can withstand nature's most powerful storms. This 2005 elevated residence, built with concrete pilings, steel-reinforced floor joists, and a new standing seam metal roof, offers 2,360 sq ft of luxurious living. The open, split floor plan features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a spacious den, vaulted ceilings, crown molding, travertine floors, custom closets, and more. The kitchen, equipped with granite countertops, a large island, and stainless steel appliances, is perfect for any chef. Pocket sliders lead to a full-width lanai with stunning sunset views, while private balconies off the second bedroom and den add charm. The 4-car tandem garage connects to a spacious concrete-enclosed lower level, offering ample storage. Located on the East End, at the end of a cul-de-sac and steps from the beach, this home combines prime location with robust construction. It offers privacy, durability, and elegance, proving time and again to withstand the forces of nature.
